PVC Tripod – Assembly Instructions

Tools Required = Phillips head screwdriver

The PVC Tripod for the Small Direction Feeder requires some assembly.  Begin by unpacking the box and confirm all parts are present — careful of sharp screws.   Assemble the tripod as follows (see picture guide below),

  1. Begin with all three large PVC legs and metal turnbuckle aligned on a flat surface.  Legs are numbered 1, 2 and 3, left to right.  Position the metal turnbuckle between leg #1 and #2.  Keeping the two legs with offset pre-drilled holes  (#1 and #3) on the outside, insert the threaded rod through all three legs and the metal turnbuckle.    
  2. Install the threaded rod through the legs and a washer on either end of the rod.  Loosely fasten the two thumbscrews to keep the assembly together.
  3. Stand up the assembly and spread the three legs apart into a tripod — legs approximately 48″ apart. Loosely fasten the three 1/2″ PVC supports — all holes are pre-drilled. 
  4. Tighten thumbscrews and make necessary height adjustments on the turnbuckle.  Tighten PVC supports. 
  5. Hang your feeder from the hook.
